I had my first shoot with Erica today as part of a workshop organised by Tabitha Boydell. Erica is an incredibly talented dancer and model. She bought a fantastic range of outfits and is pro at creating fantastic shapes with smoke canisters! She is super friendly and works really hard to help the photographer achieve the shots they are after. I can't wait to work with Erica again in a couple of weeks time.

In Search of That Perfect Shot..............

Had a fabulous shoot with Erica at an event organised by Tabitha Boydell. It was my first time of working with Erica but certainly won't be the last. Very enjoyable afternoon spent with new friends, and of course Erica and Tabitha. Thank you so much ladies... best wishes, Jann :-)

This was my second time working with Erica, this time with her being the director of the show.

I was there to shoot BTS footage of a performance in development in a variety of settings. Erica had thought about the settings in advance, arranged access to the rooms and prepared the team to be ready to shoot. Communications before, during and after have been perfect.

Erica was great at providing for her team, ensuring their well-being throughout, combined with providing direction to the team regarding their output. It was a pleasure to be part of their day.

Had the pleasure of having Erica in the Tank recently and she brought every once of grace that she does on land, under the water. With long lines and gentle expressions and a warm, friendly personality that made the shoot fly by.

We will certainly be having her at some events next year and advise that you all book her if you haven't already, or book her underwater if you have, as she's great at that too!

What a great shoot I had with Erica, so easy to work with and so full of life. She is extremely professional combined with natural elegance and a dancer's imagination and she worked very hard to give me the shots I wanted.

The shoot was very relaxed and I enjoyed the conversation as much as the photography. Relaxed but very productive. Erica brought numerous outfits from tu-tu to vintage dresses and we used them all. Erica shares my ethos that, once you have got the shots you wanted, move on to other ideas.

I had brought a small trampoline but Erica didn't need it to get airborne.

Communication before and after the shoot was great, with almost instant replies to my questions. She suggested Silkwood Studio which is a excellent, well equiped, space.

I have been travelling and haven't had time to process the images but I have studied them in my camera and there are so many wonderful shots that I won't know which to print. I will post pictures as soon as I can.

If you have the opportunity to shoot with Erica, grab it with both hands! I'm looking forward to the next time.

Tabitha Boydell

Erica is a great model to work with who always delivers. Hence why I've booked her for a lot of my events this and next year. She is talented and attendees LOVE her.

Just a really, really lovely and enjoyable shoot with Erica. who is totally committed and totally professional when it comes to dance and modelling. I have to confess to feeling a little frightened before we met but Erica made me feel at ease immediately with her friendly and chatty nature, she also incredibly generous in that she listens and doesn't just push her own ideas. She needed no direction but was happy to accept it when offered.

When you look at Erica's work it's so obvious that she is a photographers dream, having natural and beautiful looks but in addition such elegance in her whole body that its impossible to get a poor shot. I just adored her head and hand positioning.

Professional in every way, including dress sense, makeup, time keeping and communication. Simply a wonderful person to be with and someone I would love to work with again, thank you Erica.

Another fantastic shoot with Erica with 2 days of remote and live events. Erica's grace, poise and balletic ability are peerless and she always comes ready to deliver with a massive range of costumes and ideas.

I addition to her fantastic technical abilities, erica is a really nice person, engaging, positive, upbeat and undaunted, she is a breath of fresh air!

An absolute winner and very highly recommended, I look forward to continuing working with Erica later this year and into 2023.

I had the privilege to do a remote shooting with Erica thanks to pgd studio.

She has fantastic outfits and her danse poses are out of this world. Simply perfect model and dancer, on top of that, she had fabulous smile even after hours of shooting. Sure I will try to do another shoot on a 1-2-1 remote shooting.

Thanks Erica.

PGD Modelling and Photography Studios

Well what another amazing couple of days working with Erica,

We hosted 2 full days of remote and in person shooting here at PGD with Erica, with 27 attendees across the 2 days Erica produced pose after pose giving the photographers the chance to gain amazing images all the way through.

Her ability is matched by her stamina, and you will be guaranteed to create magic when working with Erica. Her grace and poise is perfect, her styling and available range of outfits is phenomenal and well thought out. And to top it all off what a beautiful person Erica is.

We had so much fun and I know our attendees achieved greatness in there results.

Highly recommended and look forward to seeing her back in September.

Shoots with Erica just get better each time. She is a fabulous dancer and subject. Don't let anybody fool you that you don't need to go the expense of hiring a professional ballet dancer and that you can get images which are just as good with talented amateurs - it's simply not true in my experience. With Erica you get what you pay for, which is grace, elegance, poise and years of knowledge and experience.

As always comms were first class and I look forward to hopefully working with Erica again in the not too distant future.

Had my first shoot with Erica, and hopefully not my last.

Her pre-shoot comms were absolutely excellent, quick to respond. Having discuss what I hoped to achieve from shoot, I can honestly say I achieved much more. Erica turned up well before time with a array of different outfits to choose from. The shoot went really well Erica takes direction very well but with the wealth of her dance knowledge she can freestyle or give ideas of positions or move.

Erica is a lovely young lady, great communicator and excellent dancer and model. Would highly recommend any photographer to take the opportunity to work with her if they get the chance.

Had a great shoot with Erica at meow studio. Erica was all prepared with the preselected fabulous outfits we discussed. Her make up and hair were perfect.

Erica had a good blend of professionalism mixed with a casual atmosphere which worked great. We had good planning discussions and it worked well.

Overall a great shoot and hope to work with her again soon.

I hope to w

Erica is outstanding.

I stepped in after Erica had a cancelation and I'm so glad I did.

She is everything you’d want from a model…… and so much more.

I only wish it had been a longer shoot so many things we could have done.

Look forward to working with you again soon.

Very Highly recommended.

I Had another fabulous shoot with Erica on Saturday 16th July at the amazing spacious Meow Studios in Edinburgh. Erica met me with her gracious smile, offered me refreshments then eagerly discussed the forthcomong shoot. We had already had superb pre shoot comms knew exactly what we wanted. Classic Ballet! Erica's make and hair was stunningis. Erica's posing and movements are a total consummate bliss. Her footwork has an amazing flair. I asked Erica to choose the outfits I wanted to work with. We worked three different themes - from classic ballet to contemporary. I love Erica's dexterity and elegance. We created an abundance of beautiful images. I now have an amazing gilt edged Erica portfolio. Erica is professional. I recommend her to all photographers. Her choice of Meow Studios was spot on. A top floor natural ligt atelier with 3 shooting areas, huge range of flash and continuous lights and very cheap to hire! Thank you Erica

I had the pleasure of working with Erica over the last couple of months to help set up an all day shoot at Pavilion Photographic Studio, Bathgate, Scotland.

Comms leading up to the event were excellent and together we were able to set up a super and successful studio day.

On the day itself, Erica was simply outstanding. Her selection of costumes were exquisite as was the quality of her hair, make-up, accessories, dance and pose. Erica is a highly talented ballerina who oozes pure elegance, dexterity and sheer femininity.

She has a sparkling personality and needs minimal direction - this helped create a wonderful atmosphere in the studio and together we are able to create a fabulous range of creative and dynamic ballet images.

I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Erica for photo assignments and look forward to working with her again in future.

Thanks Again Erica

Make-up and hair were immaculate.

Huge choice of outfits.

The perfect model.

Erica is outstanding.

I’ve long wanted to shoot with Erica and, when she announced she was coming up to Scotland, immediately booked a slot. Comms was great and when the date came, off we went to the first location. Out of the traps, Erica was on it. She knows what works and just bangs out a constant variety of fantastic poses. Erica is just so accommodating and patient, nothing is too much trouble, an absolute joy to work with. The whole day went so quickly and I now task of trying to whittle the images down to a manageable number.

Despite that focussed look in her images, when off camera, Erica is charming and funny.

Everything you’d want from a model…… and more.

As they might say in these parts, “Haste ye back”
